Description of problem: Message filtes containing a clause "Subject start with" don't work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-2.8.2.1-2.fc6 evolution-connector-2.8.2-2.fc6 evolution-data-server-1.8.2-1.fc6 How reproducible: Always reproducible. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a message filter with a clause "Subject start with xxx" and an action. 2. Send yourself a test message with suject "xxxblehbleh". 3. Check if the filter worked as expected. Actual results: The message doesn't get filtered so the action doesn't execute. Expected results: The message has to be filtered. This is, the filter's action has to be executed on the incoming message. Additional info: It worked fine with these package version on a Fedora Core 5 (I'm not sure where the message filter functionality belongs to so I post these three packages): evolution-2.6.0-1.i386.rpm evolution-connector-2.6.1-1.fc5.1.i386.rpm evolution-data-server-1.6.0-1.i386.rpm It started to fail with the very next versions of these packages. I'm able to correct/reproduce the problem just downgrading/upgrading these packages. The filters.xml file is preserved between upgrades/downgrades.
I am also hitting this in rhel5 - have been for a long time. (since beta1?) Seems to be still present in GOLD bits (just yum updated last night) My exact problem (filter starting with "[Bug") found and confirmed workaround is here: https://launchpad.net/fedora/+source/evolution/+bug/39554 "It seems to be a leading space issue, using a space before the text supposed to start the title makes the filter works on my dapper installation" My version info: $ rpm -qa | grep evolution evolution-2.8.0-33.el5 evolution-webcal-2.7.1-6 evolution-data-server-1.8.0-15.el5 evolution-connector-2.8.0-3.fc6 evolution-data-server-1.8.0-15.el5 evolution-2.8.0-33.el5 2.6.18-8.el5xen #1 SMP Fri Jan 26 14:29:35 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Dell Precision 490 I also run evolution on my personal laptop (not running rhel5) and the same filter works fine without the space. Version info for that is: evolution-data-server-1.6.0-43.25 evolution-exchange-2.6.0-27.13 evolution-pilot-2.6.0-49.23 evolution-webcal-2.4.1-18.2 multisync-evolution-0.82+cvs-25.2 evolution-2.6.0-49.23 beagle-evolution-0.2.3-40.30 evolution-sharp-0.10.2-27.2 2.6.16.21-0.25-default #1 Tue Sep 19 07:26:15 UTC 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Cloning for RHEL5. See bug #230621.
Thanks for the tip. I confirm that in FC6 the leading space trick seems to solve the problem.

Is this problem still present in Fedora 8 Test 2 or later?
Sorry, I have no idea. I can confirm it up to Fedora 7.
Thanks for responding. I think this was fixed recently but I'll double-check.
evolution-data-server in Fedora 7 doesn't contain fix from upstream bug [1], but evolution-data-server in Fedora 8 does contain that fix, and I believe it fixes your issue. If possible, can you check, please? [1] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469007
Sorry for the delay. I just updated the box to Fedora 8 and can confirm that problem is solved :) These are the packages installed: evolution-2.12.2-2.fc8 evolution-data-server-1.12.2-1.fc8 evolution-exchange-2.12.2-1.fc8 evolution-sharp-0.14.0.1-1.fc8 evolution-webcal-2.12.0-1.fc8 Thanks for your help.
Great, thanks for checking. Closing as CURRENTRELEASE.
